Revelation 11 Good News Translation (GNT)
The Two Witnesses
11 I
was then given a stick that looked like a measuring-rod, and was told,
“Go and measure the temple of God and the altar, and count those who are
worshiping in the temple. 2 But
do not measure the outer courts, because they have been given to the
heathen, who will trample on the Holy City for forty-two months. 3 I will send my two witnesses dressed in sackcloth, and they will proclaim God's message during those 1, 260 days.”
4 The two witnesses are the two olive trees and the two lamps that stand before the Lord of the earth. 5 If
anyone tries to harm them, fire comes out of their mouths and destroys
their enemies; and in this way whoever tries to harm them will be
killed. 6 They
have authority to shut up the sky so that there will be no rain during
the time they proclaim God's message. They have authority also over the
springs of water, to turn them into blood; they have authority also to
strike the earth with every kind of plague as often as they wish.and their bodies will lie in the street of the great city, where their Lord was crucified. The symbolic name of that city is Sodom, or Egypt. 9 People from all nations, tribes, languages, and races will look at their bodies for three and a half days and will not allow them to be buried. 10 The people of the earth will be happy because of the death of these two. They will celebrate and send presents to each other, because those two prophets brought much suffering upon the whole human race. 11 After three and a half days a life-giving breath came from God and entered them, and they stood up; and all who saw them were terrified. 12 Then the two prophets heard a loud voice say to them from heaven, “Come up here!” As their enemies watched, they went up into heaven in a cloud. 13 At that very moment there was a violent earthquake; a tenth of the city was destroyed, and seven thousand people were killed. The rest of the people were terrified and praised the greatness of the God of heaven.
14 The second horror is over, but the third horror will come soon!
power that it doesnt rain, power to turn water to blood & smite w PLAGUES
4 These are the two olive trees, and the two candlesticks standing before the God of the earth.
5 And if any man will hurt them, fire proceedeth out of their mouth, and devoureth their enemies: and if any man will hurt them, he must in this manner be killed.
6 These have power to shut heaven, that it rain not in the days of their prophecy: and have power over waters to turn them to blood, and to smite the earth with all plagues, as often as they will
